First Defiance DLC Brings A New Species and Co-Op Vechicles

No shtako!

Since Defiance began its run as a TV show on SyFy, we’ve all been wondering when the TV tie-in stuff will be coming to the game. A new update was announced today, and along with it we find out the first paid DLC pack for Defiance is coming soon.

Defiance Patch 1.020 is coming this month and will bring in TV Tie-in events but it will also lay the groundwork for the first paid DLC content update. Tentatively titled “Enter the Castathin”, this DLC will bring both paid and free content. This download will include:

You get this when you buy the DLC for $10:
– Access to play the Castithan Species
– Access to a new Story Mission Line with new Battle Arena Game Mode
– Access to the new Castithan Battle Arenas
– Castithan Charge Blade & Ceremonial Mask as a reward from Story Mission Line
– A unique version of the Raptor, a new 4 player truck of doom
– A unique Castithan version of an outfit
– A Charge Weapons Starter Pack
– Access to New Pursuits
– New Xbox and PS3 Trophies and Achievements

You get this in the DLC for free:
– Access to the new Charge Weapons Class and Castithan Blades
– Access to Sieges, a new Open World Game Mode
– Access to the new Monolith Major Arkfall
– Access to a new PvP Map – Military Academy
– Join a friend into the Battle Arenas Game Mode
– Duel your friends and neighbors in the Duels Game Mode
– Enemies, lockboxes, and events can drop Charge Weapons
– Select a new voice for you character
– Multitude of game improvements from UI to content

You can buy these individually from the store:
– New Mods that tint the color of your Castithan Blade
– Lockboxes have a chance to get Charge Weapons
– More versions of the Raptor, the new 4 player truck of doomed compensation
– Character Customization changes: Appearance change, name change, or everything change

So a new playable species, new missions, and a four player vehicle. Is this enough to make you pay for this DLC, or will you stick with the free stuff?
